If it's true he is unhappy at Knights, it's the classic case of what several on here warned of at the time he left, you are throwing away a life time of employment and involvement with the game as a one club hero.
The club he professed to love. His boys had all our gear and Bulldogs doona covers, welcomed into the dressing sheds and spoilt by the other players...all the feel good publicity of a loyal family man, who supporters and the club looked up to as a SOO Blue and Kangaroo.
He would have had a job for life here at this club. Either in Admin in some form with juniors etc or on the football dept staff....100% something would have been found for him...same as will happen for JJ if he wants it.
Instead, he appears to have been dudded yes but both he and manager?
could have sorted it without the backgrounding to media and the hype where his reputation went quickly south as a sooky troublemaker.
Same happened to Mason. Turned into a travelling footy troubadour with no real legacy other than achievements remembered at this club.
In an ironic way, it could also be a classic example of the superior coaching and opportunities he'd get here if they got him back...not sure on that but
